It’s a classic London derby under the lights at London Stadium, with both sides still chasing their first Premier League win of the season—West Ham after a humbling 3-0 defeat to Sunderland, Chelsea following a goalless draw against Crystal Palace.

Chelsea recently lifted the Club World Cup and they’re riding that wave of momentum heading into the match.

Graham Potter’s West Ham are already under pressure—his side is lacking cohesion, with unsettled tactics and the weight of expectations starting to show.

Head-to-Head Trends & Tactical Edge

Chelsea have dominated this fixture of late—including a commanding 3-0 victory at the London Stadium last season.

Last season, the Blues took the full six points against West Ham in the league.

Potent set-piece defense and solid backline chemistry give Chelsea a tangible edge, especially against a West Ham side with known aerial vulnerabilities.

Form & Squad Outlook

Chelsea: Strong defensive shape with clean sheets in recent games; bolstered with summer acquisitions like João Pedro, Liam Delap, and Estêvão, while also energized by the Club World Cup triumph.

West Ham: Fragile at the back—three goals conceded already in just one game. Potter’s men lack consistency and attacking thrust, especially with Mohamed Kudus gone to Spurs and limited new signings to compensate.

Final Thoughts

As a Chelsea fan, tonight’s clash looks like the moment the Blues make a statement—cracking open the Premier League with authority. Expect sharp attacking intent, clinical finishing, and yet another send-off for West Ham’s shaky confidence. So grab your scarf, settle in, and let’s hope for those sweet, sweet Blues goals. My predicted goalscorer’s are Palmer, Joao Pedro and Estêvão!

Final score prediction: West Ham United 0–3 Chelsea. Up the Chels!
